Effectivement, des arômes de pastèque et de framboise nous titillent le nez.
Ça ressemble à un jus de fruits rouge en boite que l’on donne aux enfants.
Le liquide jaune et flou se couvre d’une mousse d’épaisseur moyenne qui descend assez rapidement.
En bouche, c’est évidemment la pastèque qui domine avec la framboise mais avec en sourdine des notes de sapin et de zeste d’agrumes typiques de ce style, reflétant une amertume moyennement prononcée.
Ça demeure un bon jus de fruits alcoolisé.
Moyennement appréciée !

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt dark yellow cloudiness with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet orangey to mixed citrus zesty hope toned with a touch of lemon rind bitterness and then some super light malts in the background
Flavor: takes the prior noted aromas to blend nicely in a semi-soft sweet and somewhat juicy sort of way and adds a little bit of mango; finishes slightly dry with mango and orangey tones
Texture: light to medium bodied; great sessionability; good smoothness without anything distracting; good carb level and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: probably their best beer to date for me as I believe I would like to come back to this one.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden burnt orange color with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: orangey to pineapple-y to subtle mango hop notes with a slight sweet herbal to earthy whiff in the middle and a softer malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-juicy bittersweet quality; finishes sweet with a touch of juicy oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied; somewhat sesionable; some smoothness but a discernible dryness seems to level out the smoothness a bit; good low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nice enough NEIPA I could come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a sly transparency about the edges and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: herbal to floral hop notes up front with a clean caramel malt backbone
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes dry and malty with a touch of hop earthiness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light bodied; sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue with expected dryness but wasn't distracting; good carb level; medium hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: not bad as a semi-old school APA style, maybe again? maybe.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: burnt orange to almost copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hop bitterness with a less expressive sweetness to it and clean caramel/toffee malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to an "old-school" sort of clean bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes malty clean and hoppy bitter with a light dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied - perhaps closer to medium just a wee bit; sessionable; some smoothness to it - in a dry sort of way; good carb level; medium hop bitternes assertiveness
Overall: could this be any more old school in it's quality? well, I didn't mind this for me.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: dark copper color with a slight transparency about it and a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: soft biscuity to bready malts with a super light herbal to earthy hop background
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine variety of sweet qualities; finishes somewhat earthy and herbal with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue with nothing distracting anywhere; nice carb level
Overall: nice enough lager possibly worth coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: soft burnt orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango to pineapple to semi-mixed tropical fruit cup-ish hop notes with mixed citrusy hop notes and a light piney hop note in and out with a light clean malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes about the same with a little bit of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue but also some hop burn; good low carb
Overall: not bad in aromas and flavors but if they can get that "hop burn" cleaned up this will be a heck of a lot better.

Un olfactif assurément tropical avec des notes d’ananas, de pêche, de fruit de la passion, de raisin blanc avec une légère touche résineuse.
Houblonnage complexe et harmonieux.
De couleur doré pale et partiellement voilée, elle développe une mousse effervescente qui tient très peu.
Un environnement assez vert s’introduit en bouche avec bien sûr de la résine, mais aussi des accents de raisin verts, de pêche, de poire, d’ananas et d’agrumes.
La résine, sans être trop prenante, rehausse les houblons verdoyants ; surtout le Nelson Sauvin.
Une bière originale, complexe, élégamment houblonnée.
Très appréciée !

Arômes de pain grillé et de noisettes et de très subtils esters font foi d’un olfactif bien malté.
Liquide ambré cuivré parfaitement limpide.
Mousse d’épaisseur moyenne et rocailleuse.
En bouche, c’est un mélange de noisettes et de houblons épicés que l’on retrouve en entrée.
L’environnement est assez minéral avec une bonne amertume poivrée et feuillue.
Le malt provoque également une accentuation de l’amertume avec ses accents de noix de Grenoble et son profil céréalier.
Une bière au profil malté et houblonné assez équilibré présentant une amertume autant houblonnée que maltée.
Aucun élément sucré ou fruité n’est présent.
Appréciée !

A very slight haze, bright golden-yellow colour with an off-white bubbly head that stays a quick time, not leaving much lace. A nice fresh, herbal nose with a tad piney notes, some funk hints, caramel-spicy malts and fruitiness. This continues into the flavours - all, still very well-balanced. A wet mouthfeel, that is not too thick, and not overly dry for the style. A nicely blended, easy-drinking West Coast that still has lots to offer, but no big punches.
